It wasn't >him<.
Regime change was the stated policy of our government since the first war. This was not a new policy.

I'd like to thank the Academy. :-)
IIRC, several Republicans in Congress were pushing the legislation for several years before it finally passed. It passed with a veto-proof majority, so Clinton (effectively) didn't have much choice but to sign it.
<goooooogle...>
The [link|http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/1998/10/981009-in.htm|vote] was 360 to 38 in the House, unanimous (by voice) in the Senate. Even if Clinton had wanted to veto it, it would have become law on override.
Cheers,
Scott.

Honestly, I couldn't even tell you what channel it is.
My cable operator only added it on the list a few months ago.
I don't watch alot of TV. THis latest craze of "reality" shows has pretty much confined me to the other corner of the basement.

Beyond that
Even beyond the other points, there is a big difference in "regime change" in the "refuse to normalize diplomatic relations till the government changes" and "regime change" in the "overthrow the government via invasion" sense of the phrase.
